Lots of mines pefer Komatsu Dozers. Personally I feel it is a stability issue.
I have seen alot of photos of those Cat triads rolled over. I remember them being quite tipsy on there sides.
Its not a dozer but just proves the big K can handle it.

In the address above it doesn't mention those D11's, or D10's but does mention D375's. You asked for proof. I worked with a D375 for some years and considering how beat up they where and how they kept going it was very impressive.
More hard proof, Komatsu wins over that over rated american dozer.

Now why would they buy an inferior dozer?

Maybe they know something you don't?
The hard proof is in the purchases of Komatsu dozers, by large mines that don't want junk that has to be constantly worked on.
Squizzy, well said.
On some machinery I have no brand loyalty. It is only when pure stupidity enters the engineering and design departments that I take sides.
There are so many times that I have seen american manufactures regress when it comes to designing a product. And when cat fooled with a decent design like they are now slowly moving back to on mid size dozers, specifically the standard oval track layout. I had to move on. If you go back to the days of the D9H and the D355 and study the construction of both those machines, it should become apparent which one is built stronger and better, even the simple things like the seat. The story about the D10 is a good one, I would take it that machine was pretty old, like maybe before the electronics age? That explains it all. Nowdays all it takes is a bad wire a crapped out transister or connector and a multi thousand dollar tractor is down for the count. I would like to know what was in the shop and why?
And 4 year legal battle? Gosh what keeps going wrong?
